NightGoggles, TNVC's sister company, has gone live this week with some new gear, will be looking forward to some reviews on new kits that I know little to nothing about, like the Pulsar thermals and digital NV stuff.....

Shameless copy and paste:







We are pleased to announce NightGoggles, Inc. (NGI); the sister entity to Tactical Night Vision Company (TNVC INC). NightGoggles is dedicated to bringing the unique first-hand knowledge, experience and service enjoyed for years by the professional tactical community, to the burgeoning hunting market. NightGoggles exists to outfit the consumer who wants the best night vision gear their budget can afford. Like you, our staff has a passion for hunting, be it hogs, predators, or even gators. We are prepared to answer all of your nighttime hunting questions and ensure you end up with a product that balances budget and performance.

Like our sister company TNVC, we realize that you are looking for a shopping experience tailored to your mission. We present you with a plethora of hand-picked night vision and thermal optics, as well as pertinent accessories. Recognizing that not every night vision end-user is looking for the most expensive military-issue devices, we supply field-proven gear at a budget-minded price. Our customers know that they are getting a solid product that will provide years of faithful service. We won’t sell something that we would not purchase ourselves for our own hunts.

NGI Customers will find a unique offering of products, exclusive to our website. These include some more-affordable variants of popular TNVC products as well as exclusive gear. You will find some familiar night vision systems with a twist: utilization of high quality Gen2 and Gen2+ image intensifier tubes. These solid tubes provide great clarity and target identification capability for a fraction of the Gen3 price. What’s more: many of these systems will be housed in the exact same bodies as their government-issue counterparts. If you are looking for MILSPEC quality at a consumer price: NGI is your huckleberry.

Thanks for checking out the launch of NightGoggles Inc. Make sure to stop back often as we will be continually adding new products to our exciting lineup. On behalf of our entire staff and myself: thank you for your continued support. Stay safe and happy hunting!

$2175 for a gen2 pvs14?

Yeah, some of the prices are off - $250 for a lasermax uni ir? Hell, you can buy those direct from Lasermax on Amazon for $165, and they're eligible for Prime shipping.

I guess I'm surprised, since the site was touted up as being a budget solution.  The prices don't seem to reflect this, no offense.

I guess we will agree to disagree.  Best of luck to you!

Do the gen2+ tubes include spec sheets?

I think the 2K price point is fair assuming the performance is on par with my Photonis Supergens. They are really great performing tubes, definitely worth saving $1200 versus the L3 omni VIII pvs14, at least for people that will use them casually, and for budget minded folks, the warranty will trump a $1750 Equipment exchange used/out of warranty device.

The sentinel seems like an affordable bino set also, but it would make sense to utilize the MOD-3 housing as it gives more options for budget minded consumers IMO.

I don't have a problem with the prices but i honestly expected a little higher spec tubes.  Resolution - 30, SNR - 12 doesn't seem like that great of a deal when you can snag a blem from tnvc for ~$600 more that would crush these.  Just my opinion.

Victor, any chance of clip ons with a photonis tube in the future?

Edit: Might have jumped to conclusions a little too quickly, the comspec tube is listed as 24:1 SNR.  Maybe that's a typo?

I think you're confusing the red visible unit with the IR unit.

My next acquisition for my KAC SBR is going to be a Steiner DBAL A3 Class 1 IR Laser!

No, he is not. Here is the UNI-Max IR direct from Lasermax via Amazon for $163.82, with free shipping. http://www.amazon.com/Lasermax-LMS-UNI-IR-LaserMax-UNI-Max-Class/dp/B005FSRDJI

It must be indeed a typo, the specs of the tubes on the site are all over. Some are thin filmed Gen2+ even

Correct. I have bought two of them from that amazon link, they are most certainly IR, and they work quite well. Bought the first one I have for $153.

Right you are, sir. I was pricing out the complete rifle kits on Amazon.

^ What he said???

Thanks for the reply.  Those specs are more along the lines of what i anticipated at that price point. I would have gone this route if the option had been available when i built my 14 with a photonis tube.



I know a couple people that would be interested in such a product.  I plan to purchase one for the upcoming hunting season but have only found a couple gen 2+ options like the armasight Co-x or adams industries legionnaire in my price range.

Huh.

*Orders another one off of Amazon before the inevitable price increase *

This is a good idea, LEO/Tactical needs don't always line up with night hunters needs.


I gotta say it though, the name is lame.  All I can think of is beer goggles and ugly women at night etc.  :D






Also, when is the PVS14 Go/Pro going to be ready darnit?!


 

I remember the previous thread mentioned Gen 2 export options would be available on launch, however just quickly flipping through the site I don't see any mention of that right now.

Is there any ETA on when I can give you guys monies?

YES I NEED the go pro for my Sentinels Vic. I'm missing Sooooo much footage Imcould be getting.
At least let me help beta test one!

"Ships from and sold by Amazon.com"

Amazon is the seller. Good luck getting them to adhere to anything.

but then again, they are only a few dollars off every other seller on amazon and ebay.

Does the gen 2 pvs14 come with a j-arm?

Damn you Vic and Eric....

Now I REALLY want some sentinels. Good thing I got my car paid off

are the comspec devices using milspec glass, or comspec glass?

I recently bought a PVS14 Comspec from Night goggles. Was delivered monday and wont be able to fully use it until this weekend. I do not have any experience with NV but I have been a lurker on this thread for quite some time. I was originally thinking of getting the TNVC PVS 14 but 3000 was out of my budget and buying a used one wasn't an option. I only plan to use it for fishing/hunting at night so a Gen 3 milspec tube wasn't that big of a deal for me. So far using it in my backyard at night I am very pleased with my purchase. The lens is clear and after adjusting the gain everything becomes extremely clear. Once I get back from the lake this weekend I will make a short write up.

Do you know how the Photonis tubes you have compare to Photonis' top of the line products like XR5? I'm guessing they are pretty much the same tubes minus autogating, just with slightly lesser specs, but still am interested how big the difference is or isn't. It's funny how the price for Photonis com-spec tubes are on your side of the pond Not half the price, but not far from it either..

Edit: and thanks for clarifying the thin filmed etc things, I know what you're talking about with things turning into a matrix at 4am from caffeine induced hallucinations

Any plans for clip ons?

Also when is the gopro adapter ready??

I'll take a couple of the DVRs!

GoPro adapter?

Clip-on?


You keep skipping these two questions

Quick question. The PVS-14 Gen2 Plus shows a warranty period of 1 year, while the PVS-14 Gen2 Comspec, PVS-7 Plus and PVS-7 Comspec show warranty periods of two years. Is this correct?

Is it possible to get just the goggle? I already have mounting hardware.
